Description:
When did NBC open its first TV studio?(1) How many television sets were in the U.S. in 1950?(2) When did the Beatles first appear on The Ed Sullivan Show?(3) What do The Simpsons and Tracey Ullman have in common?(4) When did ER debut?(5)

These questions and hundreds more are answered in this compact, handy look at American TV history. A perfect gift for the avid TV viewer, this entertaining, highly pictorial celebration presents the medium's history chronologically from the earliest broadcasts right through to the present.

Notable events (President Kennedy's assassination, the moon landing) and statistics (98% of U.S. households have a color TV) are featured. The informatively captioned pictures -- of everyone from "Uncle Miltie" in drag to Clint Eastwood in Rawhide's early days to Ellen DeGeneres' highly rated 1997 "coming out" -- were carefully selected from the archives of the broadcast networks and television production companies.
